for Reconstruction and Development
Priority 2: Close key infrastructure gaps pursuing governance improvements and further regional
integration
Key Objectives
Strengthen corporate and
economic governance
practices; increase efficiency
of SOE including at local
level; enhance legal,
regulatory and institutional
frameworks
Improve quality and
connectivity of key
infrastructure for economic
efficiency
.
Activities
Support commercialisation and restructuring of selected SOES (including at local
level) in infrastructure, energy, (public) transport and water/waste water; improving
their corporate govemance, business practices, digitalisation, HR policies and
(inclusive) procurement.
Engage in policy dialogue on entity level oversight of SOEs and progress on state
ownership policies aiming at further commercialization and/or enhanced
participation of the private sector, including potential privatisations, and SOE
monitoring frameworks.
Support sector specific policy reforms to improve financial viability of key
infrastructure (e.g. road maintenance, debt management, service level
agreement).
Finance key infrastructure (incl. Corridor Vc, roads, railways, ports, airports),
ensuring inclusive access to services, while promoting green and Paris-aligned
sustainable connectivity. Alongside, support the strengthening of infrastructure
related governance, institutional frameworks, procurement practices and ⚫
implementation capacity, including infrastructure project preparation.
Finance green and sustainable (regional) connectivity, together with other
stakeholders and in line with EU Economic Investment Plan for the Western
Balkans and promote alternative fuel infrastructure and smart mobility.
Explore potential to finance tourism enabling infrastructure, commercialise and
decrease the state footprint.
Explore potential to expand digital infrastructure (e.g. broadband access) and
digitalisation of infrastructure (e.g smart municipal infrastructure as green enabler)
ensuring inclusion gaps are bridged.
